The Michelin-starred chef behind NYC hot spot Carbone has spent $10M for another home in Montauk
Mar 29, 20256 mins reading

Michelin-starred chef Rich Torrisi is doubling down in the Hamptons.
The top toque and co-founder of Major Food Group — whose restaurants include Carbone, ZZ’s Club, the Grill and his namesake Torrisi — has purchased a $10 million Montauk beach house overlooking Fort Pond Bay. That’s in addition to the Montauk home he already owns.
“We hear he wanted a guest house,” a spy quipped.
Torrisi — whose namesake restaurant in New York’s landmarked Puck Building is one of the city’s hardest reservations to snag — declined Gimme Shelter’s request for comment.

The residence has design magazine-worthy interiors.
The new home was purchased in an all-cash, brokerless deal. It was previously on the market for $10.75 million.
The seller is Robert McBride, a power lobbyist for renewable energy firms, real estate, hospitals and more. He declined to comment.
The gray-shingled dwelling, built in 2008, is 7,591 square feet. It comes with five bedrooms and 7½ bathrooms — all on 1.66 acres with Fort Pond Bay views.
McBride is also an avid fisherman. That said, the residence also boasts a wood-paneled tackle room with a mural depicting the ocean, clouds and seagulls.
There’s also a gym, radiant heat and a lower-level wine cellar with a tasting room.
The property additionally includes a pool.

Built in 2008, the home features myriad indoor/outdoor living spaces and these spiraling stairs.
MFG started with a single eatery — Torrisi Italian Specialties — in 2009. It closed its doors on New Year’s Day in 2015.
Torrisi co-founded MFG with Mario Carbone and Jeff Zalaznick.
In addition to their holdings — more than 40 restaurants and private clubs from New York to Riyadh, and from Toronto to Hong Kong — the hospitality brand has moved into residential real estate with the construction of its own luxury tower in Miami.
